THANK YOU MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
WE DO HAVE FIVE EMPLOYEE SERVICE RECOGNITIONS THIS EVENING.
AND FOR THE FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO CALL FORWARD OUR CHIEF OF POLICE, SEAN DUGGAN.
I'D LIKE TO, UM, ASK, UH, AN INVITE CAROL ESPANZA TO COME FORWARD TO CELEBRATE HER 10 YEARS OF SERVICE WITH THE CITY.
SO IN NOVEMBER OF 2013, CAROL EMBARKED ON HER JOURNEY AT THE CHANDLER POLICE DEPARTMENT COMMENCING IN THE RECORD SECTION WHERE SHE EARNED A REPUTATION FOR HER UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COLLABORATIVE SPIRIT.
IN 2017, SHE EMBRACED THE NEW ROLE AS THE MANAGEMENT ASSISTANT TO THE CHIEF.
UH, FROM HER VERY, VERY FIRST DAY WORKING IN THE CHIEF'S OFFICE, I WAS IMPRESSED BY HER ABILITY TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE, BOTH EMPLOYEES AND CITIZENS ALIKE, AND HER DEEP ROOTED COMMITMENT TO OUR DEPARTMENT.
UH, THIS COMMITMENT CAME ACROSS IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS FROM HER WORK ETHIC, HER CUSTOMER SERVICE, HER VOLUNTEERING, AND OF COURSE HER SENSE OF HUMOR, WHICH SOME GET AND SOME DON'T.
UH, AND THEN FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS, SHE CONTINUED TO EMBODY PROFESSIONALISM AND EXCELLENCE WHILE I HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO WORK ALONGSIDE CAROL AND RELY ON HER IN SO MANY, SO MANY WAYS.
AND THEN IN 2019, CAROL ACHIEVED ANOTHER CAREER MILESTONE BY BEING PROMOTED TO THE POSITION OF FIELD OPERATIONS SUPERVISOR.
AND DURING THIS TIME SHE PLAYED A PIVOTAL ROLE IN STAFFING DURING COVID AND PROTESTS AND ORCHESTRATED SEVERAL VERY SUCCESSFUL VACCINATION EFFORTS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
AND THEN IN 2021, CAROL WAS PROMOTED TO POLICE FIELD OPERATIONS MANAGER.
HER VISIONARY MINDSET AND COLLABORATIVE APPROACH HAVE ELEVATED HER VISION AND SHE CONTINUES TO EXEMPLIFY EXCEPTIONAL LEADERSHIP.
CAROL EPITOMIZES OUR DEPARTMENT'S MISSION WITH HER SIGNATURE PHRASE, HOW CAN I HELP? THIS ATTITUDE HAS MADE HER A GO-TO PERSON FOR COLLEAGUES AS SHE FEARLESSLY TACKLES CHALLENGES WITH UNWAVERING DETERMINATION, TEAMWORK, AND PERSEVERANCE.
SO CAROL, THANK YOU FOR 10 YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT,
